The "What I appreciate about my spouse right now" thread

[“Paisios”]

Hey y'all, this is partially inspired by PeachieKeen bringing "Whats on your mind right now" and the old long running IJWTS thread (but WIAAMSRN is too long) from singles. I'm hoping it can be a fun thing. A lot of the posts here in Marrieds can be more heavy and serious (not that there's anything wrong with that), so I'm hoping this can be light, fun, and lovey dovey.

What I appreciate about my wife right now is how much she makes me laugh. She's hilarious (and she knows it). She knows how to make me laugh, when to make laugh, and how to legitimately make me laugh out loud. I love and appreciate how much laughter she brings me.

She made one of my favorite meals for me last night even though she couldn’t eat it herself because of her allergies. She is so selfless and loving. I don’t deserve her.

I appreciate how hard my husband is working right now. He is involved in a huge project, and he has to work long hours. Last night he had to have a business dinner that went past 8 pm. We didn't have much time together, and I was finding myself feeling a little grumpy. We both have long days right now but I certainly have more downtime that he does. I remember being upset that we couldn't spend a lot of time together when we were dating and engaged...separated at times by distance...now, we are together, and I guess I thought it would be different.
Anyway, I appreciate how hard he works and how much he loves his job.

Right now, I really appreciate her laugh and the calm joy it brings me.

Smush cuddles.

The random noises she makes - always makes me smile

When he gets the bath water running due to pain that I get. He the most thoughtful of them all.

Tinfoil...... it's the duct tape of the cooking world.

Alex got off early the other day and instead of going home to relax he ran around grabbing things to make me a bubble bath when i got home. He found candles of my favorite flower, rose petals, a scrub brush that he rubbed my back with, some face masks and a nice wine. Such a sweet and thoughtful thing.

Been struggling with sore throat and other cold symptoms. I appreciate her voice of reason talking me into staying home from work. I always go no matter how bad I feel. But staying home the last couple of days has me bouncing back sooner that I expected.

Heating water in the kettle for me

 

[mama2one]

appreciate him taking day off work

I appreciate that she doesn't take it personally when I hold up my fingers in a cross and scream BACK BIO HAZARD, BACK!! while she is showing symptoms of a cold.

Boy does it ever! I don't have a dishwasher so I'm always up to my elbows in dish water. Every stinkin' day!
